Spotted by piunikaweb, S9 users have taken to numerous online platforms including Twitter, Reddit and even Samsung's own forum pages to vent their frustrations.

It seems the biggest the gripe is the way the new mode is cropping images with many complaining that it's cutting large parts of the picture off.

Posting a message on Twitter, one S9 user said: "My S9 photo front camera auto crops every photo I take now. It's full-frame, after picture, it's nearly cut by 70% off. It appears its from the newest Android update"

And another added: "Cool cool. New S9/S9+ update changed the default crop of the front camera and now I have to hold my arm out super far on apps like Snapchat so it's not just a closeup of my face."

Some S9 owners have also noticed a changed in the picture size with one explaining, "I just did the April s9 plus update and noticed my front facing camera was looking very grainy.

"I checked the settings and now no longer have the 4:3 8mp option.

"It is now only 5.2 with no option for the 8mp it is supposed to go up to. Anyone else having this issue?"

A Samsung moderator has now responded to some of the complaints with them posting a message on the community pages that reads, "When you open up the camera, you should see a settings icon in the upper left of the screen.

"After clicking this icon, you should have a Camera Modes option if you scroll a little over half way down. This should help as a temporary work-around. We’re escalating this to our specialists so we’ll let you guys know when we hear back."

There's currently no word on when or if this camera mode will be changed or how many users have actually been affected by it.

This news comes as Samsung recently pushed out another big upgrade to all of its flagships.

This vital upgrade was announced earlier this month and brings some important security patches to the firm's flagship devices.

Some of the issues that are being fixed are so serious that Samsung has labelled them critical with one even allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a target’s device.

Confirming the update Samsung said: "Samsung Mobile is releasing a maintenance release for major flagship models as part of monthly Security Maintenance Release (SMR) process. This SMR package includes patches from Google and Samsung."

And in a post on its security website, the tech firm added: "At Samsung, we take security and privacy issues very seriously and we are doing our best to respond as quickly as possible.

"Securing your device and maintaining the trust you place in us is our top priority.
